Maryland Delegate Gets 30 days For Drinking While Boating

Maryland state Del. Don Dwyer was sentenced Tuesday to 30 days in jail for operating a boat while drunk during an August 2012 crash that injured seven people.

Dwyer, 55, pleaded guilty in Annapolis on Tuesday to operating his boat under the influence of alcohol, but District Judge Robert Wilcox denied his request for probation.

Wilcox told Dwyer he shouldn't get special treatment since lawmakers have an obligation to obey laws and ordered the Anne Arundel County Republican to also pay a $1,000 fine. He was facing up to a year behind bars.

He got off too easily for all the grief he caused.

He should be treated like a dog and put in jail for at least 6 months and then put on a offender registry for BAD LAWMAKERS as with sex offenders so we remember them when it is time to vote.
